[Bug 737555] Re: Unity 2D not easily installable

[Kiwinote]

Hi! Thanks for your bug report. Unity-2d has a desktop file in app-
install-data-ubuntu and hence now shows up correctly in software-center.
Iirc, this was fixed in time for the natty release too. Please continue
to report any bugs you may find in software-center. Thanks again for
your help!

Title:
  Unity 2D not easily installable

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  It's currently not at all straightforward to install Unity 2D from the
  Software Centre.  When searching for 'unity' several "unity-2d"
  components are displayed.  However, installing these does not provide
  the entire 2D environment -- several packages are hidden by default,
  including the main Unity 2D package.

  Expected behavior:
  1. Search for 'unity' in Software Centre.
  2. Select Unity 2D package and click 'Install'.
  3. Unity 2D is available as an option at next login.

  Actual behavior:
  1. Search for 'unity' in Software Centre.
  2. Four results are returned -- 'unity' and three packages whose descriptions start with 'Unity 2D'.
  3. Select each "Unity 2D" package and click 'Install'.
  4. Log out and observe that no new sessions are available through GDM.

  To actually install Unity 2D, the user must search for 'unity' and
  then click 'Show $num technical items".  Then the main 'unity-2d'
  package is displayed and can be installed.
